This morning I observed myself reading the exercise for the day. "Breathe this way for 10 minutes." And immediately I thought dismissively, "10 minutes, yeah right!!" Isn't that funny, I wasn't ready to give myself 10 minutes to breathe and be with myself.

During the day I did observe forms of abundance coming my way. Work came in, lots to do, and ways to help out. In a class I'm taking, I finished my part of a group project, and am helping a classmate with her part. We offered to keep our neighbor's cat in our house with us while she is away for two weeks so she wouldn't get lonely. Then the SPCA called and asked if we would keep a foster dog for a few weeks, to train him not to guard his food bowl. An abundance of animal friends for sure.

In the evening, I came to my senses, and John and I spent our 10 minutes doing the breathing exercise. During the exercise my mind wandered to a frustrating argument I had in class. As the words, "I am secure in the knowledge that I am fully loved and supported" came to me, and I realized in that moment of conflict that I was re-living in my head, that was exactly what I needed to hear.

Looking forward to reading others! Namaste-
